Abstract: A 12-hour anti-tussive modified release solid tablet or capsule is described which comprises a benzonatate in a matrix with a sufficient amount of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable modified release pH-independent, substances to provide a 12-hour modified release profile to the benzonatate, wherein there is substantially no benzonatate release from the tablet or capsule in the buccal cavity and no more than about 25% release of the benzonatate within 1 hour as determined in an in vitro dissolution assay. The modified release may be provided by (a) a high melt temperature, water-insoluble wax or waxy substance, (b) a low viscosity hydrophilic polymer such a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, (c) a reverse enteric coating, or combinations thereof. The benzonatate may be in an adsorbate with a silico or silicate or in a complex with a weak acidic ion exchange resin complex.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method, a computer program, a computer program product, a system, a sender, a receiver and a session description protocol for transmitting common data from one sender (902) to a plurality of receivers (901) within a transmission session, comprising communicating (802) at least one session parameter, which is related to said transmission of said common data within said transmission session, to said plurality of receivers (901) via a communication protocol; and transmitting said common data from said sender (902) to said plurality of receivers (901) within said transmission session. The invention particularly relates to broadcast/multicast transmission of common data in a wire-bound and/or wireless network, wherein a File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport FLUTE protocol is used.

Abstract: An object delivery session, such as a File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE) session, is joined and a description of a plurality of objects provided by the session are provided. The description indicates one or more groupings of the plurality of objects. An interesting object is determined from the plurality of objects. Based on the interesting object and the description of the plurality of objects, one or more of the plurality of objects are identified for downloading.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for file delivery in a system capable of one-to-many transmission, the method comprising transferring one or more data blocks from a sender to at least one receiver, identifying a data block expected to be received but not received at all or incorrectly received at the receiver, and taking action to re-transmit said data block. In the method, said identification is performed on the basis of a block number, an encoding identifier and certain other identification information.

Abstract: An apparatus, system method, and computer program product that combine the attributes of ALC and NORM for communicating data between devices on a network. A sending device uses multiple data rates on different channels to reliably send data packets and receivers use NACKs to request retransmission of missing or mangled data from the sending device or other receiving devices on the network. The sending device using an active ALC mechanism and the receiving devices use NACK and transmitting mechanisms for transmitting acknowledgements or data from the device. The sending and receiving devices can be located in the same or in different networks for communicating data packets during a data transmission session.
